BetterBounty ⚔️

⚡ Simple, fast, and Folia-supported bounty plugin for Minecraft servers.

- Confirm flow: Add bounty through a confirmation GUI
- Vault economy: Money withdrawn on set; deposited to killer on kill
- Auto-save: Persists bounties to SQLite and saves every 15 minutes + on shutdown for more reliability
- Folia supported: Uses FoliaLib schedulers
- Config-driven: All messages and GUI texts can be customized easily
- ️ Admin commands: Remove bounties, without hassle of editing databases manually

Requirements ⚙️
- ☕ Java: 21
- ️ Server: 1.19 - 1.21.8
- Dependencies: Vault and a Vault-compatible economy provider

Installation
1. Install `Vault` and your economy plugin
2. ⬇️ Download the latest `BetterBounty` jar
3. Drop the downloaded jar into `plugins/`
4. ▶️ Start the server and generate the config
5. ⚙️ Edit `plugins/BetterBounty/config.yml` as desired, then run `/bounty reload`

Commands ⌨️
- /bounty or /bounties — Open the bounties GUI (players only)
- ➕ /bounty add <player> <amount> — Start the confirm flow to add to a bounty (players only)
- ➖ /bounty remove <player> — Remove a player's bounty
- /bounty reload — Reload the plugin config

Permissions
- bounty.remove — Allow /bounty remove
- bounty.reload — Allow /bounty reload
- betterbounty.updatecheck — Receive update notifications on join

Notes
- Adding bounties is player-only (not console)
- Targets must have joined the server at least once to be referenced
- Self-kills do not award bounty
- Player skins and names are updated on join for more accurate visuals and sorting

Configuration (MiniMessage)
All messages and GUI text use MiniMessage.
Hex colors like <#03fcb1> are supported.

Check MiniMessage docs for more details.

How it works
- Placing a bounty deducts funds immediately using Vault
- Bounties are displayed in a paginated GUI with skull textures
- ⚔️ On death by another player, the killer is paid and the bounty is removed
- Player name and skin texture are refreshed on join for accurate sorting and visuals
